Garbology

Authors Note: In this story I tried to follow the comedy mode of literature I hope you like it about a bunch of stuff in a bag that the teacher gave us.

One day a napkin was so tired from a long day at normal work day that he lay down and a big wind came and swept it away. As he was passing by a pen cap saw him in the air and followed him. Until the wind put him down. The pen cap then realized that the napkin landed into the gang called the junks. In this gang were a band aid, a rubber band, a twist tie, a button, a tooth pick, and a card. He was scared but then he remembered what he was. He is a karate master and can wield a blade really well. He pulls his sword out and I but you know what happens next.

What he didn’t know is that hey where also good at fighting with a blade. The reason the pen cap goes in there is because The Junks were beating the napkin up so he thought he had to save him. The main gang captain was the tooth pick the pen cap’s evil twin brother. H was such a big challenge when the other gang members had al died there was the tooth pick left. The pen cap was so tired. When the tooth pick strike one more time the pen cap had drop to the ground and was defenseless. There was a big battle the pen cap was getting tired and then out of no were the pen cap’s brotherhood came and took helped him out and then they won and the napkin was safe from harm. After a week the napkin wanted to know who the pen cap was and he wanted to be one of them.

So one day the napkin found the pen cap and asked if he could be one of them. The pen cap said “sorry you are too soft and weak you would just be killed right away if you became one of us. And then the napkin realized that he was that he was so he went on with his normal everyday life.

Auther's Note: This was I thought was a good idea because we all have this problem in life and its a pain to go through.

We always have two choices in life. We all then have a to choose one of them. It is the biggest Choice of them all. for some it might scare us for others they know they are ready for it. I myself am scared when I get to that point because I dont' know what is down the two roads that come my way. When it comes your way I hope you all choose the right way to go. I don't me go right I am just saying do the right thing go with what your heart tells you. So what I say to you people is good luck and don't follow your friends, do what you thikn is right. Remember you always have a choice.

The Hundredth Dove Essay

This is the book called “The Hundredth Bird” by Jane Yolen. There are so many colors of doves Hugh fines but there is something special about this white dove he finds. In the book Hugh the main character has a bit of troubles catching this one white dove. His name is Hugh and he is a Fowler who works for the king. Points the bow at the birds they just fall over and he can just catch a bird with a net. He is a special kind of person. One day the King asked him to one very difficult task to do.

One fine day the king called for Hugh. He was surprised by that because he never gets called to see the kill so he knew it was something good. If any of you got called to the king I bet all of you would be very surprised by it too. This story had my feeling and emotions all over the place. First I was sad because Hugh sounds like some poor old man. When he got to the king the King sad that he was getting married and that he wanted a hundred birds so Hugh left and when to go get the birds. Some people would say that this task is impossible. That’s what I thought.

He caught 20 birds everyday except for the 5th day he only caught 19 he was mad because the one white dove kept on escaping the net. So he had 99 live birds and he really wanted to get that hundredth bird. So he waited a long time for the last bird he waited and waited until finally she came he caught the bird and the bird said “mast fowler, set me free, gold and silver I’ll give thee.” The Hugh said “neither gold nor silver tempt me.” “Master fowler set me free fame and fortune follows thee” said the bird. Hugh shook his head and held tight. The third time the bird said “master fowler free this dove the queen will be your own true love.” So after the bird said that Hugh twisted the bird’s neck and now he had 99 birds alive and 1 dead so he had the hundred birds. He brought all the birds to the king, but there was no wedding. So then the fowler gave up on hunting so he ate berries and fruit the rest of his life.

This story reminds me of the time I wanted to beat my dad at ping pong. My dad had always been better than me until I tried so hard and I finally beat him. Just like Hugh if you put your time and hard work into it you will be rewarded. Of course my task wasn’t as tough as Hugh but the king still gave him one big tough task.

The Team That Could Never Lose

When I read the title of this book I thought that this was going to be a good quick read. I also thought that, since last year our football team didn’t win one game, this might give me some pointers. What I thought to myself was. Can I see myself reading this book? Can this book help me? How long is this book? And of course what is this book about? This book has a lesson to it well at least I thought it did.

First there is the main character Chip Chase and he as some problems in the beginning of his new football year and he learned a good lesson. The lesson was in the beginning and somewhat throw he whole thing was don’t judge someone before you get a chance to see what they can do. Like when the team was really sad because there head coach had to leave for his job. So he left his assistant coach in charge and the team thought he didn’t know anything about football. So Chip Chase was going to quit so when it was almost football practice time and he didn’t have his practice jersey on his mom and dad wonder why. He just said “I feel like quitting because Mr. Kash left (the first coach) and Phil Wayne (the assistant coach) and Mr. Quley (the new assistant coach) coaching and I don’t want to play on a team that will lose all the time.” This lesson was the main lesson in the whole book.

Usually books about sports aren’t that great because they never really know much about the sport they write about. This book was a really good. It was well written because they describe the book like a real football book. When he describes the first practice chip goes to when Phil Wayne is coaching the author really describes Phil like a real coach how he acts in the book at practice and I could just see the author talking about one of my football coaches. Phil I think isn’t as mean and funny as my coaches were.

I would recommend this book for anyone of any ages. This is a good quick read with the 14 chapters it has. Its fast action and has one great lesson. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Well I kind of did because the cover of this book look cool so I read it and it was.

My First Roller Coaster (Childhood Memory)

My first roller coaster was amazing I was with my friend Tyler Thompson. It was a big thriller for me going down a like a 60 foot drop. It was a 4 person cart and it was me and my friend in the front and in the back was his little brother and someone else I can’t remember. It was in Omaha, Nebraska I was there because my older brother had this big tournament. They got 4th and got this sweet glass trophy.

What I learned from this experience was that roller coasters aren’t all that scary and they are easier when you have your friends with you. Whenever you have a friend with you, you can do anything. This experience changed me because I used to be scared of them now I know they are not that scary. At first before I went on the roller coaster I was to scared t=but then my friend said to just do it so I did. I never really liked roller coasters so I was really scared then when it was over I said let’s do it again. So after the second time we were done. We went to Subway and then I felt really sick. I went into the bathroom and threw up. That’s when I said roller coasters are not for me.

Food

Food is great it gives you the energy to do stuff in your life. Some foods are bad for you though like fats but it is good to have some fats. There are so many kinds of food one of the best is pizza. I don’t know why but it just is good with the sauce and cheese and whatever else you put on it. My favorite food is skinny cakes. They are really what me and my family call craps. They are really thin pancakes and you put syrup on them then powder sugar and then cinnamon and you role it up and you eat them with a fork and fall in love with them. Whenever there is food you need something to drink. Remember though don’t eat too much ad food your teeth will really hurt and then fall out.

Electronics

There are so many kinds of electronics in the world like robots, computers, Phones, iPods, TV, and my person favorite is video games. Robots they say will take over the world. I don’t believe it but it’s not like I know. Computers are great for school and home I like doing my work on the computer then on paper. Phones are second best they are a great thing to have. You can give it has a gift it is a really good one too. Without phones I don’t know where teens would be. Phones are great for communicating what is going on and when the movie is or when the party is. Now you can surf the web right there on your phone. iPods are great for working out and doing a bunch of other stuff. You listen to your iPod before a big game on the bus ride for a field trip for school. And if you just feel like listen to music an iPod is for you. Sure TV can make families not take that much but it does bring them closer together. Like if there is a show on you and your family can watch it every week. Video games don’t even get me started. They really do bring friends and brothers closer because if you want to play video games you go and play with a friend, brother, or sister. See parents think electronics are bad when they really aren’t.

Football Nightmare

This book is a really good book for any kids like football or any other sports. This a great fast read for kids. What is the message in this story? What if I cant relate to this story? I guarantee you will like this book. This book is really heart racing and you can always guess what is going to happen next which isn't bad.

The first chapter was getting my heart racing. This has never happened to me before but I am a football fan and player. This was crazy if I was in Keith's position I would do same thing when he missed the ball I would just sit there on the ground. Not facing my team mates and my coach. I don’t think it was smart to do that because if you know about football if you run out of bounds the clock stops. So instead of passing it to Keith I would of just run it next to the side lines and when you started to get in trouble you run out of bounds and get closer to the end zone. I feel bad for Keith they were undefeated and he missed the game winning pass and if he caught it they would have won the game and the championship. He had nobody in front of him and the closes guy was 10 yards behind him.

In the 3rd chapter When Keith and Heck headed to the pool I knew something would go wrong and something did when this one kid (who didn’t play for the bucks and was with Cody). When Cody through a big beach ball in the air to Keith one of the kids that was with Cody said "think you can hang on to this one, Keith? In the 4th chapter made me think wow what good friends Keith and I only wish I had friends like that. How they make him feel like losing the game wasn’t all his fault that was just a small part. This book made me feel like I wanted to go to Keith and help him out in the beginning.

This book made me feel sad for Keith because when he missed the pass I felt like going up to him right away and telling him it is ok and even getting some of the other players to come too. At the end made me feel so happy for Keith when he intercepted the pass. This book is the one of the best books I have ever read I would give it 5 stars hands down.
